This mammalian hardware we are running on is merely a bootloader, larva state, don’t take it too seriously. It was good enough to run us and I am grateful I woke up running on it.

This looks really great, more thoughtful than any benchmark that I've seen until now! I'm curious if you're only interested in scoring frontier models or you would accept submission from custom harnesses? I am working on mult

Honestly, compared to any random sample of non-retarded and non-malicious people you can find.

We can always dream and then find ways to make it practical :) It's encouraging I didn't get downvoted as much as I expected I would.

I've lived in several different countries. There are nice people everywhere. The country governments are shitty everywhere.

That can be figured out after the dismantling process :) My personal utopian take: smaller communities/city-states that would naturally coalesce into more fluid confederations. A lot of these communities could also be distributed and n

I like this. And furthermore, it is my opinion that all current nation states should be dismantled.

All I'm going to say is this is a very shallow analysis, and I expected more from the author of masterpieces like Exhalation. It's a good time to start discussing these topics, so it might still be valuable to publish this as a wa

I am glad you were able to find the root cause and get treatment, and sorry you had to go through this. I hope we will soon remove “psychiatry” from the domain of medicine completely and start addressing actual biological issues directly.

You're probably right, I'm an idiot. I just think there's not much we can do about it, so might as well not take it too seriously. At least for the innocuous type of surveillance like reading my emails to learn how to sell me

I used to care, but I don't anymore. They can read my emails, my code, track what websites I visit and what music I listen to, be my guest. I'd let them read my thoughts directly if we can build technology to do that lol. I realiz

Yup, I was just giving them "thumbs down" on every suggestion, but I know I am screaming into the void. But the fact that this feature exists in its current form (opt-out) means that nobody who tested it internally had the balls t

I just can't stand how Gmail is putting a red line under every other sentence that I write (telling me that my writing style is a "mistake") and aggressively nudging me to rewrite it to make it sound more like AI. Whoever tho

Where did I say that writing or journalism are rent seeking? And why are you being dishonest?

> Oh no!! Those strings of words belong to me!! Yeah, maybe it’s time to move on and find ways to benefit yourself and the rest of humanity outside of artificial monopolies and rent seeking. Copyright is dead.

If we’re going to descend into pedantry, my statement was normative, not descriptive, as in “I agree this is what a government does, I disagree this is what it _should_ do”. “Beneath me” is _my_ value judgement that I pass on this governmen

Just because the US also does this doesn’t make it right for China to do it and vice versa. Team coca-cola and team pepsi are both evil and illegitimate.

This is awesome work, thanks for sharing! How do you plan on keeping up with upstream changes from the API providers? I have implemented something similar, and the biggest issue I have faced with go is that providers don’t usually have sdk’

I'd buy the business book, and keep some of the staff for the expertise, but scrap that horrible product and rebuild it from scratch.

There is probably no other way than to seed it. You can do this with outright bots or contractors from fiverr, but people who grew up with the internet are very good at spotting inorganic growth. I'd start with a slow rollout to friend

You are obviously too disingenuous to engage in any kind of dialogue and it showed from your very first reply. But sure, thanks for the recs.
